  • as far as tape and glue goes, it's really only useful if you are running low pressure. mostly relevant in cross racing. it's fairly difficult to roll a road tubular if you glue it properly when running it at high pressure, even on a course that has a lot of leaning/hard turning.

    trying to take off a glued and taped tubular usually ends up destroying the tire....so its effectiveness is unparalleled.

    I also personally avoid tape (except on the track), I have heard too many mixed results to trust it on the street. On the track there aren't too many occasions that I have to worry about rolling a tubular and you're also running tires at a super high PSI so that just helps you that much more.

    also to note is that some companies don't recommend tape on carbon rims...even voiding the warranty. something about when you pull the tape off it can delaminate the rim slowly, unlike with glue where you scrub it off.
